timed out while recieving the initial server greeting
Have a Webmin, Postfix, Mutt server that I want to be the smtp relay to send out my emails.
Have successfully configured the postfix/mutt mail relay, can send out. Having problems getting my other server to connect to my mail relay and send out said email I keep getting the aforementioned error what am I missing?

Is there anything reported in the log of the other (connecting) server?

Ok the top bit is from the receiving server, that is supposed to be doing the relaying, and the bottom bit is from the server that is sending.
I'm sure I've got enough holes to drive a truck through, but I have kind of lost my way...looking at the relay server logs looks messy...where should I start?

This is the last couple of lines from /var/log/mail.log on the relay server.

You need to fix this one.
warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling
It means that postfix has a fatal configuration error that prohibits it from running.
try commenting out things in your main.cf that you're not sure of.

Ok, line by line I found the culprit and commented him out. Ok, now I get the following error, and it is the ip of the server I'm having forward it's mail to be relayed... I assume I need to add it by hand to some authorized user argument?
